Why were the Jewish priests upset about Roman soldiers entering the temple?

Watching the Jesus movie, this scene is played out where the Jewish priests actually bowed with their necks bared so the Roman soldiers could cut off their heads rather than allowing their graven images to be brought into the temple. I am looking for this in The Bible too but haven't found the reference yet.
